Art in Advertising

The glorious Diane von Furstenberg has reached new artistic heights in her recent ad campaign for her Spring 2012 line. Taking a cue from Surrealism, von Furstenberg had her models situated in a vast, desert-like plane with dynamic juxtapositions between the atmosphere and the architectural accessories. 

The mirrored faces of the models brings a reflective nature to the ad's, forcing the viewer to see herself in this place, in these clothes. I love this spread and am so glad to see designers taking a truly artistic approach to showcasing their clothes, after all they are a work of art in their own right.
